right now
I had just found out that I was getting constant hits on one of my posts from last September. It is a bit personal, but for the sake of the people wanting to read it, here it is in reproduced form.
I won't elaborate on it much but it's probably quite obvious that I was feeling quite hurt back then. I say this with intent, but if the people reading this post often are those involved, I'd say don't, because it's not going to create anything. If it's somebody that finds me thinking like this amusing, fine, I've amused you, I should note that I have a lot more than this under my sleeve.
The golden wand people mentioned are a form of holistic massage. They use rods made of gold to discharge negative charges within the body. Laugh as much as you want, I didn't believe it till I went. It works. They are virtually unknown, for they do not advertise and their services are on a referral basis only. They are quite busy though, catering to many children, old people, politicians, rich people, rock stars, etc. I go there when things get really rough. Maybe I should discharge before the summer. Thing is though, it shocks your body quite a bit, so sometimes if I'm really bad, it makes be obsolete for a few days. Anyway, read on if this is what you want.
Right now
All I really want is my time back. Wasted a lot of time and potential on things that are in the reality of the world, so small and useless.
However, time cannot be bought, it has to be earnt. I'm trying, gradually.
Went to the golden wand people again today, this is actually the first time I've been treated within a short time frame.
It didn't hurt as much today, but the effects are nonetheless, effective. I felt wrinkles or creases, like creases that would be made from a cotton shirt happening to the scalp of my head. I nearly freaked out on that but it felt so good elsewhere.
Apparently, I fell asleep for about 30 minutes after that and I don't remember any of it. Which is a welcome change from all the nightmares I've been having at recent. At times of crisis like this, I reflect on what life has been for me and if it has been worthwhile. The conclusion is the same. I am not old enough to be making any conclusive decision on life and that you always learn something, so it goes on.
8 hours after the fact, I still feel good from the effects of the golden wand, my legs are tired, my back hurts, but all in a proper way, like it was meant to be so.
I think I will be falling asleep after this diary, I hope I sleep well.
After the golden wand people, I went to Yoyogi park for a bit and saw some crap band playing, maybe I'll attach photos of that later. Emailed my friend J in NY about the wand experience using the phone and also saw this shop specialising in baby cars, so took a picture and emailed it to my friend A in NYC who is expecting later in the year.
Went to Shibuya, hung out at books shops, records shops, Tokyu Hands.
Then I talked to my friend Junko who works at a record company. She said she was going to Thailand for a week's holiday, the lucky sod. We should get together soon and talk business.
Went to see Honda at Honda Soundworks in Ebisu about gear for my friend J, since he lost some at a recent show. honda it seems wanted to talk to me about stuff so I hung out with him for a few hours.
Had some ramen in Ebisu. Two things I misst not having outside of Japan, ramen and teishoku. The latter can be sort of had, but in NY, proper ramen is IMPOSSIBLE. I gave up altogether. I haven't had ramen for a while, so enjoyed it.
Walked down to Nakameguro, taking some pictures of the nightlife, autumn is near, which means it's featival season with all the decoration "chochin" lights that the shops of each town display with their business names on it, kinda looks nice. I remembered that Lost In Translation had a scene from Nakameguro, so took a picture of that road.
Walked my way to Yuutenji, took the train, voila!
Wasting time can be good, as long as it's productive.
Looking forward to seeing my friend Eric who is in town from the UK. Share some mutual jokes about Martin H maybe.
